Testing DAT1 and DRD4 Genes in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Using a Wide Spectrum of Neurocognitive Batteries. [PDF]
This study examined DAT1 and DRD4 VNTR polymorphisms and neurocognitive performance in 336 children and adolescents with ADHD and controls using the CNS Vital Signs battery. DAT1 10R/10R showed no significant effects after adjustment, whereas DRD4 4R/4R was associated with reduced cognitive flexibility. ABSTRACT Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder

A DAT1 gene and APOE ε4 interaction is associated with apathy and structural brain changes in Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Abstract Background Apathy in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with significant morbidity. We examined whether interactions between genetic variants related to neurotransmitter systems and regional brain atrophy are associated with apathy in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD.

Genetic variability related to the dopamine (DA) transporter gene (DAT1) has received increasing attention as a possible modulator of human cognition. The 9-repeat allele of the DAT1 gene is presumably associated with higher striatal DA levels than the ...

Absence of association with DAT1 polymorphism and response to methylphenidate in a sample of adults with ADHD [PDF]
AbstractA polymorphism in the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) has been previously associated with ADHD and methylphenidate has been hypothesized to block the dopamine transporter. The goal of this study was to examine whether a 40‐bp variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) of DAT1 moderate response and adverse effects associated with methylphenidate ...

Molecular implications of prolonged aggression experience: Th, Dat1, Snca and Bdnf gene expression in the ventral tegmental area of the victorious male mice [PDF]
Th, Dat1, Snca and Bdnf were the genes whose mRNA levels in the ventral tegmental area of the midbrain were measured in male mice that were victorious in 20 daily agonistic interactions and in a group of such victorious mice that had later not been ...

DAT1 5′-Un-Translated-Region Methylation Patterns as Bio-Markers of ADHD Psycho-Pathology: Contribution to Disease Prognosis and to Monitoring of a Successful Therapy [PDF]
Epigenetic modifications, such as changes in DNA methylation, have been linked to several diseases in recent years. The purpose of our study was to search for biomarkers that (using non-invasive techniques) could assist the clinician in the prognosis of ...

The effects of DAT1 genotype on fMRI activation in an emotional go/no-go task [PDF]
Dopaminergic brain circuits participate in emotional processing and impulsivity. The dopamine transporter (DAT) modulates dopamine reuptake. A variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) affects DAT expression.

DRD4 and DAT1 Polymorphisms Modulate Human Gamma Band Responses [PDF]
Gamma oscillations (30-80 Hz) have been demonstrated to be important for perceptual and cognitive processes. Animal and in vitro studies have revealed possible underlying generation mechanisms of the gamma rhythm. However, little is known about the neurochemical modulation of these oscillations during human cognition.
